In Industrielle Alliance, assurances auto et habitation inc. vs. Usines Giant inc.1, the Court had to rule on the procedural validity of a joinder of multiple claims, all involving the same water-heater manufacturer, Giant, in a single legal action.
Industrielle Alliance, duly subrogated in the rights of its insureds, had in fact instituted a legal action by combining 15 losses at separate properties, in separate cities, between 2015 and 2017.
